Rod Stewart sued over injuries caused by football at Las Vegas concert

(Reuters) - British rocker Rod Stewart is facing a lawsuit from a man who says he was injured when the musician kicked a football into the crowd at a Las Vegas concert, striking the man in the face and breaking his nose.

A civil lawsuit filed by Mostafa Kashe on Monday in Las Vegas said the 69-year-old Stewart, who early in his career had a reputation as a strong football player, has "significant experience" with the sport and should have known he could hurt someone with a kicked ball.

Kashe was unexpectedly hit by a football Stewart kicked into the crowd during an October 2012 concert at Caesars Palace, and security guards pulled him aside so he could be treated, his complaint said.

Kashe says he suffered lasting physical and mental damage from the blow to the face he suffered when the football broke his nose, and his complaint said the Southern California man missed work and had to cut his family's Las Vegas vacation short due to the injury. His suit seeks damages in excess of $10,000 (6,124.37 pounds).

I saw him in concert years ago and he did the same thing. He'd kick footballs out into the audience. Another time I saw Peter Frampton. He threw a tambourine into the crowd and I managed to snag it. heh heh. I saw just about every concert that past through my State as I new the owner of a radio station and he used to give me free concert tickets all the time....always within the front 3 rows too.

Thanks Dawn - just looked at that clip at last. Good ole' Rod. You've got to hand it to him - making a long career with THAT voice. Hasten to add - I'm a fan.BF I noticed your Peter Frampton interest - I've got 'Frampton Comes Alive' double album in PINK vinyl.Has to be seen to be believed !
